On Wednesday night I was able to sit down with our former mayor Mark Farrell at Perry’s on Union Street for a fireside chat about his candidacy for mayor.

Mark is a two time former San Francisco supervisor who also served out the remainder of former mayor Ed Lee’s mayorship…

Oh, hey, look, It’s our Secretary of State Tony Blinken shaking hands this morning with the guy who is pumping America full of fentanyl.

He must not have read the Congressional report last week saying that 97% of the fentanyl, killing over 100,000 (!!!) mostly young Americans…

Oh Beautiful for Spacious Skies... San Francisco, California

Took a walk in the Tenderloin today. This is what the drug/crime apologists in San Francisco call “compassion.” Just letting people do drugs out on the street until they overdose and die. Sometimes they like to call it “body autonomy” too.

These people belong in…

San Francisco, April 24, 2024

Some memories and personal history for me in this photograph.

The taller building on the lower right was the first building I worked in in San Francisco. Fresh out of college I went to go work for Wells Fargo’s Asset Management Division. We were…

I'm going to have more to say about this later, but thanks to Kurt King for hosting last night at Perry's and thanks to those who came out to hear a fireside chat I did with Mark Farrell -- one of the things that we talked about was that San Francisco needs to declare a…

One of the photos I made of my good buddy Robert Scoble, the most prolific X AI blogger you'll ever meet. A good friend who has his finger on the pulse of this important new industry in San Francisco and all over. Nobody follows this industry or knows more about it than him right…

'and is believed to be in San Francisco's gritty Tenderloin neighborhood.'

Those are the words that stick out to me in one of the now many, many articles about the disappearance of Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake's 16 year old daughter Mint. It's the leading story on the…

Benny Johnson So where does the money go?

Three Graces: one of subjects I've been collecting with found photos are photos of three women posing together.

Collector Peter J. Cohen also collects these and has said that the fourth woman is the one taking the photograph.

I've got 111 of them so far:…

One of the things that I photograph is neon signs -- these disappearing cultural relics of our not so distant past. They speak to the beauty of a time and place in America back before iPhones and computers and self driving cars. Back to a time when Jack Kerouac wrote On the…

Ed Cirino Thomas Hawk Stanley Roberts 🎬░N░E░W░S░ ░I░N░ ░B░I░0░ We grew up in better times compared to kids these days. Played morning to darkness in summer, rode bikes w/no helmets/pads, drank out of a hose, big candy bars were a nickel, a quarter could get you a lot of penny candy, no computers or smart phones…and we had the best bands. We…

Isn’t this the view from your mayor’s office window London Breed ??? Oh, wait, you wouldn’t know today. You’re too busy pussy footing around China, kissing ass and saying thank you on behalf of San Francisco for all the fentanyl they are dumping on our city.

Who here remembers $2 gas?

I saw on Stanley Roberts 🎬░N░E░W░S░ ░I░N░ ░B░I░0░ feed that gas is up over $6 a gallon again in San Francisco.

Beijing has a population of almost 12 million people.

How many people overdosed and died there last year London Breed ???

San Francisco has a population of a little over 800,000. We had over 800 (!!!) dead here last year.

How about focusing on that instead. You know, real…

World Famous Leon's Frozen Custard, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

99% of addicts will never choose recovery on their own. The only solution is to force them into treatment. San Francisco is an enormously wealthy city. There is more than enough money to do this.

The problem is there is so much pushback from all of the people profiting of all…
